Chapter 159 Corruption, Madness, and Boarding
What Mangzi released was naturally the drop he got after defeating the Bone and Blood Colossus.
[Essence of Immortality Block]
[Type: Consumable]
[Effect: After taking it, you will enter a period of boarding state, greatly improving your own attributes. After the duration ends, you will die. ]
[Description: The power of immortality seems to be hidden in it, but is it really immortality? ]
The Immortality Block still looks like a piece of flesh and blood, but it is actually a slightly hard lump, which looks a bit disgusting.
Similarly, the scab pendant is not much better.
Small lumps like blood scabs are connected in series by red ropes like blood vessels to form this scab pendant.
[Scab Pendant (Excellent)]
[Type: Accessory]
[Effect: Within a period of time after being injured, slightly restore the blood volume just injured. ]
[Description: Scab, healing, strong vitality. ]
The last drop is a "chest armor" with a rather unexpected appearance and function.
That's right, this is a piece of equipment, a heavy breastplate, and from the appearance, it is not only not disgusting, but also quite handsome, with some unique and strange beauty.
[Confusion of the Immortal (Excellent)]
[Type: Breastplate]
[Effect: Provides medium defense, and will slowly restore its own blood volume when not attacked, but will consume a small amount of mental power. ]
[Description: Immortality? What's the point of such a painful immortality? ]
Fighting is cool: "How about it, brothers, this time it's finally my turn to be proud of it, hahahahaha..."
Brother Mangzi is still proud.
But Bulong has already flipped through the chat history at this time, covering his face and poking him beside him.
"Brother Mangzi, don't post it, Niu Niu and the others killed before us, you can take a look at the chat history..."
Bulong felt helpless and embarrassed.
Hearing this.
Brother Mangzi was stunned.
Then he quickly flipped through the chat history, and his face became redder and redder, obviously feeling embarrassed.
Not only had Niu Niu and Mushroom discovered this boss a long time ago, but they also killed it much faster than them.
As a result, he foolishly thought that he must have been the first to kill, and no one else had noticed.
The battle was cool: "...Haha, ha, it has to be Brother Niu, who killed the girl as soon as he entered, so decisive!"
Brother Mangzi laughed dryly, trying to cover up his embarrassment by praising Niu Niu.
But he obviously didn't pay much attention to the repeated torture of Niu Niu by other players in the chat records.
But what he didn't know was that this sentence was almost like pouring salt on Niu Niu's wound that had been stabbed several times.
I did push-ups with Niu Niu: "...Don't say it."
That's good now.
Originally, only one person was unhappy, but now two people are unhappy.
Seeing this situation.
Li Miao, who had not yet logged off, was laughing so hard that he wanted to die.
Brother Miao didn't fail the exam: "...It's okay, Brother Mangzi, you are also the second to kill, which is still very powerful."
Seeing Li Miao's comfort, Brother Mangzi was not happy at all.
Even someone like him who has strong limbs but a shrinking brain can understand one thing: everyone will only remember the first place, and no one will remember the second place and the stepping stone.
He is not Yue Lun.
So... his idea of washing away his shame is naturally bankrupt again!
Mangzi brother wanted to cry but had no tears.
Seeing his dejected look, Bulong could only pat his shoulder.
"It's okay, there is still Xiaoyao, maybe he succeeded in the first pass?"
Mangzi brother's face fell even more when he heard this: "If he succeeds, won't we be even more embarrassed?"
"..." Bulong was silent.
It seems... that's the truth?
As the saying goes, we are afraid that our brothers will suffer, and we are also afraid that our brothers will drive a Land Rover.
Now they are very embarrassed, and if Xiaoyao succeeds, the failed trio will become a failed duo!
"Is he out now?" Thinking of this, Mangzi brother asked quickly.
"Not yet." Bulong shrugged.
…
Since the players’ exploration focus is on the Corpse Forest, and most players generally believe that the two-player dungeon is less difficult.
Therefore, in the world chat, most players discuss things related to the [Corpse Forest] dungeon.
As for another single-player dungeon [Gales Depression], although there are fewer people discussing it, it is not absent.
After all, some players are stubborn and like to try something that others have not tried.
However, unlike the discussion about the Forest of Bones, the most common question asked by players discussing the Gales Depression is just one...
"Which way should I go in the Gales Depression?"
"Oh my god, where did you come from? Is this still China?"
"Why is the guidance of the spirit candle sometimes in front and sometimes in the back? Is there a bug?"
"It's not a bug. The game gives a hint that it is affected by a mysterious force, but what is the source of this mysterious force and how to solve it?"
"Where is the guide? Save him!"
"..."
That's right, the first problem that players who enter the Gales Depression must face is not dangerous monsters or puzzles, but finding directions!
This initial area is full of swamps and the map is very large, which makes many players lost.
Moreover, there seemed to be a mysterious force in the swamp, making it difficult for them to find the right direction. Many times, they got lost and entered a place full of monsters, and then had to walk all over again.
Some players even took great pains to find their wax ash.
This made the few players who explored the Gales Depression retreat...
...
Gales Depression.
Perhaps because of the dark boundary outside the map that isolated everything, the dark and gloomy sky seemed to be the main theme of most copies.
Some pale yellow vines hung on the tall but withered trees, hanging into the swamp.
In the dark brown and green swamp mud of the depression, some sticky bubbles emerged from time to time. The gas in it accumulated for a long time before it suddenly broke and rose green and yellow poisonous gas.
Crash...
The Spirit Fire Sail moved forward slowly.
The huge deep-sea worms and the giant-tailed sea monster pushed away the mud floating above in the swamp in front, allowing the Spirit Fire Sail to move forward smoothly.
The resentful ghost giant was guarding him, but the Black Mountain Little Demon still looked unhappy.
He had been lost in the swamp of this groove for nearly a day, and he had only found two milestone candles after working so hard!
The so-called [Mysterious Power Influence] was really a headache.
It made it impossible for people to find the right direction!
However, the Black Mountain Little Demon's journey for the day was not without gain.
In addition to killing some special monsters in the Gales Basin, the only important thing was the snake pupil-like thing in his hand.
[Guidance of Snake Eyes]
[Type: Special Item]
[Effect: Always look in a fixed direction. ]
[Description: The eyeball of the copper snake in the basin, the snake eye seems to be able to ignore the power influence of the area and always look in a specific direction. ]
Swamp Copper Snake.
This is a special monster that the Black Mountain Little Demon found around after he found the second milestone candle with great difficulty.
Although it was a snake, this monster was as huge as a python, and was covered with brass-like rusty scales, and its body had obvious joints, which obviously did not look like a normal life.
After killing it with great effort, in addition to wax oil, this thing was dropped.
Judging from the description of this item information, it might be able to take him to a special place in a depression, where he might find a way to solve the mysterious power of the depression.
Of course, it is also possible that this place is simply the key content of the Gales Depression dungeon.
So Black Mountain Little Demon is still looking forward to it.
He also left the dungeon halfway to check the chat channel and found that no player seemed to have found this special place.
If he found it, not to mention being famous, at least people would not always think of him as "One-third Fish Brother".
Just as Black Mountain Little Demon was thinking.
There was new movement from the deep-sea worms and giant-tailed sea monsters in front.
But Black Mountain Little Demon was not worried.
It was just a crocodile-like monster in the swamp. For the Black Mountain Little Demon who had spent money to upgrade all attributes, it was not worth mentioning. He had encountered these things along the way.
After the two subordinate creatures dealt with it.
The Black Mountain Little Demon suddenly fixed his eyes.
Because, in his sight, a strange building suddenly appeared, which was covered by dead trees and vines in the swamp.
The broken stone pillars sank into the swamp. The moss and vines grew wantonly, but it was still difficult to cover the roaring snake head with fangs in front of the building. The mane on the neck was even more lifelike.
This is a huge relic!
The guidance of the spirit candle also appeared at this moment, pointing to the front.
There is no doubt that this must be an important content in the Gales Depression!
Seeing this, the Black Mountain Little Demon suddenly became excited and quickly touched the spirit candle fire to speed up.
Finally, I found it!
It’s worth spending so much time and energy!
However, just when the Black Mountain Little Demon was excited,
As if sensing the arrival of outsiders, the entire swamp suddenly churned violently, and many huge bubbles rose from the swamp. There seemed to be a different kind of power hidden in the yellow-green gas.
Seeing this, the Black Mountain Little Demon's heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, could it be some kind of gatekeeper monster?
Thinking of this, he quickly took out the newly bought magic beads and prepared to summon them to deal with the next battle.
However, the next moment, something that shocked him happened.
I saw that the bubbles in front of the huge ruins suddenly broke after gathering to a certain extent, releasing a bunch of yellow-green gas, causing the surrounding environment to distort.
Then, the huge ruins also distorted, then became blurred, and then completely disappeared.
Ah?
The Black Mountain Little Demon was stunned when he saw this.
Where are the ruins? Such a large ruins, how can it disappear just like that?
The Black Mountain Little Demon sent the deep-sea worm and the giant-tailed sea monster forward to check it out in disbelief.
But, just as he saw.
The huge ruins just now really disappeared under his eyes.
After a moment of hesitation, the Black Mountain Little Demon took out the Snake Eye for guidance.
At this time, the Snake Eye had already pointed to another place.
The guidance of the Spirit Candle was the same.
It seems that no matter what, Snake Eyes is indeed pointing to the ruins, but if you want to enter it, I'm afraid it's not just a matter of simply approaching the ship.
Seeing this situation, the Black Mountain Demon suddenly felt a headache.
Are you looking for it again?
What the hell is going on!
…
"Corruption, madness and... boarding..."
With that said, Rogge turned around and looked behind him.
"Mage Burton, was there ever soil that gave birth to these heretical powers in the Burning Land?"
Judging from the situation on Niu Niu's side.
The guy who hosts the Bone-Blood Colossus is a special being. Not only has he retained his wisdom in the catastrophe of unknown origin, but he even knows that there are countless others outside the border of darkness.
This is an unusual thing, and it will naturally attract Rogge's attention.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to consume a lot of wax oil and entered the dungeon to have a friendly exchange with the bone-blood colossus.
He also got some useful information.
All of this can be summed up as "a heretical lodging power manifested by a residual aura."
That's right, just a residual breath gave birth to a life like the Bone-blood Colossus, which can maintain sanity in the chaotic world of copies.
The most critical word among them is "boarding".
Just like the "corruption" hidden in the Island of Exile.
The "madness" raging in the coastal town.
"Boarding" is also an almost identical heretical force, different from any mainstream and accepted force in the Burning Land.
The source of these powers is so unknown and terrifying.
Nonia, who was behind Rogge, also felt a little uneasy when she heard Rogge's words. She pursed her lips and squeezed her hands tighter.
"I don't know the power of these heretics, but I have heard about corruption."
In response to Rogge's question, Master Burton nodded slightly, but also shook his head, saying that he didn't know much.
"But I don't know much about it. The only thing I can recall is the so-called 'corruption'..."
He first talked about the "corruption" of heretical forces.
"Corruption... this kind of heretical power has been recorded before, and it originated from the far west."
"The land in the far west has complex overlapping terrain, many races, and is often subject to natural disasters. Therefore, there are many countries. They fight against each other and the wars continue. The lives are devastated and the blood flows like rivers."
“There are records saying that in the far west at that time, no matter which country the road led to, whether it was at the bottom of an inaccessible cliff or under an abyss, there were stinking corpses, and their corrupted smell lingered for a long time. Along the entire far west, countless terrifying things have been born..."
"It was at this time that a sect called the 'Corpse Monks' appeared. They were collecting corpses everywhere, and the number of terrible things in the far west also decreased."
"However, as the bodies gradually disappeared, civilians from various countries also began to disappear, and the countries in the far west noticed something unusual."
"They gathered powerful fire-burners, found the Order of the Advocates, and discovered the hidden secrets."
"The specific results are very vague in the records."
"But since then, the Adeptus Monks have ceased to exist, some countries have also disappeared, and the term corrupted heretical power has become taboo..."
"And during my travels, I also saw the Gulade Empire army suppressing these heretical believers."
Having said this, Master Burton looked at Rogge, sighed and said:
"If the fire is weak, the darkness will show its teeth."
"The darkness that arises from such terrible turmoil is probably unimaginable."
Some readers have reacted to some plots about extreme players like Niu Niu. The author will try to write as little as possible in the future. Even if he does write, it should be profile...
